I've been afraid of turkeys ever since I was like three years old. It all started when I was at my friends farm and was chased by a turkey . I was afraid it was going to bite me! Is it normal that im still affraid?
I sometimes have a flock of Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) come through my yard. I find them to be fascinating and beautiful creatures. My experience, is that they are more afraid of me. If I make sudden movements, they will move away. Like any creature, wild or domestic, you should keep a healthy distance from them, unless you are trained to handle them. Almost any animal will attack if they, or their young are threatened. I was surprised that the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), are afraid of them.
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin considered Wild Turkey for the national bird of the United States?

Gobble at the turkeys. Maybe they will gobble back. I think of them as premature politicians. :P
I really like turkeys and I've been chased by them before. I think their harmless but I still run. They can't help but to chase me just like a dog would because I ran. It's like a game when you run. My Siamese cat and I take turns chasing each other.
lol. Animals always chase me. A bunch of chickens and a lot of goats. I ran like heck that day.
yea man turkeys are fucking terrifying if you see one you should turn around and run as fast as you can cause they are visious killers
I thought you meant turkeys as in national treasure 2. What an awful film
you do know turkey's or any other birds apart from the penguins of Madagascar, have no teeth to bite with right?
FALSE. There are some birds that DO have "teeth"... but not turkeys, no. :P
FALSE.
No living species of birds have "teeth"
Some birds do have tooth-like adaptations, but they are not properly teeth.
Some prehistoric bird species did have teeth.

I expect that you will learn the difference.
No, what I said is true. Just because I didn't use "quotation marks" doesn't make it any less true.
I already know the difference. I didn't have the time, at the time, to look up the "proper terminology".
Why you gotta be so anal about "proper" words? As long as the person on the other end knows what I mean, all is well. This is casual conversation, not politics. :P
Yes, we can all read your mind!!!
